La Jolla Presbyterian Church Sermons
We want to see lives transformed through a relationship with Jesus. One way we witness that is by sharing God’s Story and equipping you to share His story as well.
We strive for sermons and teaching that is informative, applicable, inviting, and transformative.
Sunday morning messages, plus other Bible studies, classes, and special events. We are a welcoming, Bible based, Christian Church, and would love to worship with you.
